I've never seen or heard of this, and the only downside is it can't sleep? That is wild. Love Macs Fan Control, Full Blast can vent a system out in minutes. In addition, I love a Quadra 605 with then resistor overclock called LCIV+ because reasons. I also have a Performa 520 that I did a...

I had no idea that your icon was a G4 cube, that is insanely cool. Also, a Xeon in a 2011 iMac? I have never heard of this, that also sounds insanely cool. How's the heat on that thing? My introduction to the Salamanders was some dudes on tricycles burning me off of the board. The Tau empire...

Everyone names their computers, I'm sure everyone also has a lot of computers. They're like pets in a way, sometimes their name is just what's on the faceplate, sometimes it's named after a characteristic of the machine that was seen later. So, what are some of the names of your favorite or...

I have an LCII with a 68040, I'd love to try this but I'm sure the low RAM limit blows a hole in that. Would using the shareware WAD theoretically lower this requirement?

I've been wanting to upgrade my computer for almost 3 years now. Money issues and rising prices have made this a non-option as of late. I even have my case picked out and have been sitting on it for years, a Silverstone FLP01. I can't even move the current guts from one case to the other, due to...

I've managed to sync an old Cybiko to an old Mac using a virtual machine. I'm surprised this actually worked. Windows XP running on a 1Ghz G4 is a dreadful experience, but it eventually worked. I used an old USB-to-Serial cable that used a prolific chip, which was kinda hard to track a driver...

I understand the hate for AI, but this isn't a huge hobby, and the hardware is only getting older and more scarce. Better to make something while there's still machines to use it on.

The X-Files has a ton of Macs in it. I think there's an SE/30 and a purple iMac somewhere, a G4 cube too.

I connected to the UT99 server. There's a bit of lag if you're in the USA, and I got pwned by a bot. 9/10, great experience, had a blast.

Optical drive removed, fans installed, There was even some space to put a little heatsink on top of the heat pipes, for extra surface area and cooling, in the center. It runs much more comfortably, at least I feel better about it. When It had no optical drive and just an empty space, I'd stick...

I replaced mine with a 120Gb drive I got off of EBay, I imagine one of those IDE to SD card solutions could work too. If you want to, you can also use the internal SCSI connection and install a "BlueSCSI" or "SCSI2SD" depending on what you want to try.

Correct. 🧯

Good lord, how is the heat on this thing?

The iMac G3 is likely going to sit forever, the speakers are blown and the CRT is showing its age. After a while of running, black starts to turn red, and the more black is displayed on the screen, the deeper the red goes. The internets say it's a worn out tube, I have a guy I can call about...

Woah, what am I looking at? I'm not entirely sure, but I'm curious.

I think I'm going to make my marchintosh project my recently acquired G3 iMac. It needs new speaker cones, and I want to install an exhaust fan in it somehow. Speaker cones might be tricky to find, and the exhaust fan might also. I want the fan to pull air out of the top, but if it's too close...

I could try to take it apart and put it back together, but for me it doesn't feel like the metal inner shell is absorbing enough heat. I don't have the shielding in place on the bottom of the optical drive, so I can poke my finger into the optical drive door and physically tough the CPU, and...

I'm trying to think of a way to increase the cooling power inside a G4 iMac. It's cramped inside, the CPU and GPU are in strange places, and they run incredibly hot even with their strange method of cooling by sinking heat into its metal dome chassis. The processor is on the top of the logic...

I have a website in my house that's hosted of a Raspberry Pi. All I do with it is host pictures and files and a journal old computer things I do. I'm not cool enough to do HTML by hand so I use an old copy of Dreamweaver. I also didn't make the framework of the site myself, I took the MSN site...

LORD GABRIEL! Love that game, even if the engine is weird.
